Chicken Rotel


1 lb. chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 pound Velveeta, cubed
1 stick butter
1 small can English Peas
2 cans Rotel, not drained
1 onion, chopped
1 box Angel Hair Pasta
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta until al dente. In a saucepan, saute onions in 3/4 stick of butter. Add Velveeta, Rotel, and peas. In a casserole dish, combine pasta, cheese sauce, and chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Top with cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

This is an AMAZING recipe that my friend Elisabeth gave me a while back. Now, her recipe is actually different from this one. This is the way that Vann and I make it, and everyone that has tried it has LOVED it. Heck, Vann's brother-in-law even called it "chicken heaven" when he tasted it. You can't beat that!

Now, I actually put the onion in a food processor until it's almost mush, or until each piece is about the size of a McDonald's onion since Vann doesn't really like onions (I'm working on it....). Now, this recipe is good for about 6 people or so. This is great for us because we love leftovers, and this is DEFINITELY great leftover. In fact, I think it tastes even better the next day. This is an easy dish that I guarantee everyone will enjoy. :)

Pizza Biscuits

1 can biscuits
1 cup Kroger Four Cheese Spaghetti Sauce
2 cups shredded mozarella cheese
Dried onions
Oregano
Pizza Seasoning
Desired Toppings

Roll each biscuit into 6 inch rounds. Spread 1-2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce onto dough. Sprinkle with oregano, pizza seasoning, and dried onions. Spread cheese on top, then add desired toppings. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until bottom of pizzas are golden-brown.

I ran across this recipe after my sister told me that she uses Pillsbury.com to get some of her recipes. I was looking around and happened to come across this recipe. Luckily, Vann and I already had all of the ingredients, so we thought we would give them a try. Since we only have a toaster oven to cook in at each of our places, we ended up burning the first one. Vann loved it, but I thought it was kind of gross. However, we had 8 of these to play around with, and by the 3rd one we were making them exactly how we wanted them. These would be great to bring to a tailgate or a party. They are so easy to make, and extremely delicious!
